This book is a compilation of NATO related speeches, interventions, letters, interviews, articles, and some last-minute thoughts that the author released upon the world from 1991 to 2021. The texts are presented as they were delivered, in rough English, used by non-native English speakers, to preserve their authenticity, as are the colorful prefaces to each one of them.

Unfortunately, too often -- if not always -- the winners write history.
